Wrapped up the tile work on this enclosed Wedi shower in a new addition 🔨

This one features a clean mix of white and tan marble-look porcelain tile in the shower, paired with a bluish-green subway tile that adds a subtle pop of color. Finished it off with wood plank tile flooring to bring in some contrast and tie the whole space together.

Wedi system underneath for a fully waterproof, long-lasting install done the right way.

Simple, clean, and built to last.

If you’re planning an addition or upgrading your bathroom, message me and let’s get it dialed in.

Another bathroom completely transformed from the ground up 🔨

This project started with a full demo—removing an old whirlpool bath tub and addressing some serious underlying issues. I tore out and replaced the entire subfloor due to extensive black mold and rebuilt it the right way from the base up.

From there, I:
• Installed a brand new Wedi shower system for long-term waterproofing
• Added custom tile work throughout the shower and flooring
• Converted the old tub space into a functional closet with custom shelving
• Finished it off with new drywall, paint, and trim for a clean, modern look

Check out the final result, then the demo, and the before—this one was a big transformation.

If you’re dealing with an outdated bathroom or hidden damage, I’ve got you covered. Message me to get your project started.

Victorian Bathroom Transformation

I conducted a full renovation on a bathroom in an older Victorian home. What began as originally a dated space with a severely uneven and undeveloped, out of level (for tile) subfloor has now been completely transformed into a modern, fully tiled bathroom.

Scope of Work:
• Full tear-out down to the studs
• Rebuilt and leveled the subfloor to meet modern standards
• Installed new plumbing fixtures and updated electrical
• Applied floor-to-fully tackled tile with the O’Brien Custom Home Improvement touch and craftsmanship
• Added new, high-quality finishes and fittings

The finished result combines modern functionality and design with the timeless character of the home. I take pride in delivering quality craftsmanship, design, and attention to detail on every job.

If you’re considering an update to your own space, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Contact me for a consultation. 740-507-2604

Fixed up a beam that had been poorly done and added some custom trim for a customer. Got it looking the way it should’ve from the start.
